Rogan: I haven't uploaded a free comic that wasn't only a page or two for a very long time, but apparently this did it. Red and Blue is now available in its entirety for free on my website, all 32 pages of it, and so is the text-only version. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate getting paid for it. I badly want to get paid for it. But I also had to speak, and this is the closest to a coherent response I have. Let me know if a link is broken; I tested it beforehand, but sometimes something slips by.

Sneak: I also took the opportunity to fix the Paypal button and also add RSS feeds to both our website specifically and to the healthymultiplicity.com index in general. I've tested them both and they seem to be working. I hope they prove useful to people, so they don't have to check back for updates, which are sporadic!

Sneak: The back cover of Red and Blue didn't upload correctly, so I fixed that. We also decided to add the following text to that page:

"Did you find this comic useful? Please consider donating to a Texas abortion fund, like Frontera Fund, the Texas Equal Access Fund, or the Lilith Fund. It may save a life."

 
Rogan: In keeping with our rule to never request donations we haven't made ourself, we have donated $500 to the Lilith Fund.

The antidote to despair and helplessness is action. And I can't make it to the damn protests due to public transit shutdowns.

EDIT: See also, this list of abortion zines!

EDIT 2: Wow, boy howdy, someone on archive.org is uploading a BUTTLOAD of abortion zines even as I speak! Keep an eye on this, it's still loading stuff!

So, search engines are failing me, and I know a bunch of my blog readers are bibliophiles, so I am putting it up to you guys: can anyone recommend fiction (books, comics, movies too I guess) where a character gets an abortion and a happy ending? Protagonist preferred, but I'll also take secondary characters at this point.

Right now, all I have are Dirty Dancing and Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, both of which are secondary characters. (And Cabaret I guess, but that is NOT a happy ending.) And I just really need stories where an abortion is treated as a thing that actually happens and that the character getting one isn't tainted or doomed.

Googling is mostly getting me dystopias and anti-abortion shit. Sort of like how digging around for songs in a similar vein mostly got me songs about dead babies.
